Chapter 1644 Divine Light of the Horse Bath
Zhou Shiyue noticed Shen Xiangjun, and Lu Zhaoling also happened to notice her.
"Miss Shen seems very excited. She seems to have a marriage thread on her body. Hmm, is the other end of that marriage thread now unclaimed?"
Lu Zhaoling discovered something very strange.
Shen Xiangjun has a clear marriage line on her body, but now one end of the marriage line is tied to her wrist, while the other end is floating in the air.
The marriage line swaying gently in the wind looks almost alive, like an extremely thin, reddish thread worm, which is indeed both eerie and beautiful.
Lu Zhaoling found it very strange.
She wanted to get closer to get a better look, but when she caught a glimpse of Zhou Shiyue, she changed her mind.
At this moment, Qingbao also noticed this and whispered to Lu Zhaoling, "Miss, why is the Prince staring at Miss Shen?"
Qingbao believed in the prince. After all, she felt that no one could compare to her young lady. The prince wasn't stupid; how could he possibly be attracted to another woman at this time? She just found it strange.
And I'm a little worried that the prince might fall for some underhanded trick.
After all, there was the incident involving Su Xiaolian. If one thing happens, another will follow.
Shen Xiangjun is the Prime Minister's daughter. If she really does something wrong, with the Prime Minister's help and encouragement, she might actually be more likely to pin the blame on the Prince.
So when Qingbao saw this scene, he felt a sinking feeling in his heart and became nervous.
Lu Zhaoling waved to Aoki.
"Aoki."
Aoki immediately walked over to her side.
Lu Zhaoling whispered a few words to him, telling him to go to Zhou Shiyue's side right now.
At the same time, she took out a dagger, gently pulled up a few strands of her hair, and lightly slashed with the dagger.
This dagger is already capable of cutting through iron like mud, and cutting hair would be even more effortless.
After cutting off a few long strands of hair, Lu Zhaoling wrapped them in a piece of yellow paper and handed them to Aoki.
"go quickly."
Upon hearing her words, Aoki knew that this was no small matter, so he dared not delay any longer and immediately used his lightness skill to rush over there.
Sure enough, he was stopped by the palace eunuchs shortly afterward. However, because he was a guard of the Prince of Jin's residence, and he took out his token, the palace eunuchs saw that he was alone and did not stop him, letting him pass.
Aoki walked around the back of the crowd and silently approached Zhou Shiyue.
The retired emperor discovered him first.
"Aoki is here." The Emperor Emeritus patted Zhou Shiyue on the shoulder.
Zhou Shiyue then shifted his gaze away from Shen Xiangjun and turned his head slightly to the side.
At that moment, he also felt a little strange. He realized that he had been paying attention to Shen Xiangjun for a while and felt that something was wrong.
As Zhou Shiyue turned his head to the side, Qingmu had already walked over quickly, leaned slightly closer, and relayed Lu Zhaoling's words in a voice that only Zhou Shiyue could hear.
"The princess said that no matter what, the prince must not touch that horse, let alone ride it, nor go near the lake."
Aoki finished speaking quickly and then hurriedly handed over the hair wrapped in yellow paper.
He said to Zhou Shiyue, "This is the princess's hair. Now, Your Highness, please tie it to your left wrist immediately and do not take it off tonight."
The retired emperor found this strange. He glanced at the few strands of hair and couldn't help but interject, "Why would you tie your hair to your hand at this time of year? It looks odd."
Moreover, this method sounds somewhat related to sorcery, and in short, most men would refuse to do such a thing, let alone members of the royal family.
They still find it quite taboo.
However, the Emperor Emeritus certainly didn't distrust Lu Zhaoling; he just found it a bit strange and couldn't help but ask her another question.
Zhou Shiyue immediately took the hair and gestured to Qingmu to tie it up for him.
Without hesitation, Aoki quickly tied the few strands of hair to Zhou Shiyue's wrist.
After finishing tying the knot, Zhou Shiyue asked Qingmu, "Did your princess sneak over to watch the fun?"
After saying that, he looked into the distance towards the willow trees in front of him.
Aoki followed his gaze and was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the prince would guess the princess's location so quickly.
Is this what they call tacit understanding between husband and wife?
Over there, Lu Zhaoling saw that Zhou Shiyue seemed to be looking this way, so she turned her head away a second before he did.
Therefore, Zhou Shiyue looked over but did not see her.
But Zhou Shiyue was certain that Lu Zhaoling was there right now.
"Did she see what I just did...?"
Zhou Shiyue originally wanted to ask if Lu Zhaoling had seen him staring at Shen Xiangjun earlier. Although he had nothing to hide, he felt that if Lu Zhaoling had seen it, he would have to explain it to her properly.
But before he could finish speaking, someone shouted, "Look everyone! Look at that Moonlight Steed!"
Everyone looked towards the horse, including the emperor and his entourage.
When the Imperial Astronomical Bureau announced the time had come and the moonlight began to fall, everyone did feel that the horse was indeed a little brighter, but it did not emit a silvery light as expected.
So everyone was a little confused and disappointed just now.
But now, everyone could see that the horse was indeed radiating a bright light. The light looked very soft, pure white with a hint of silver, and it really looked like it was coated with a divine light.
What's most amazing is that the halo on the horse's mane looks ethereal. When the horse's tail is gently brushed, the halo sways, making the horse look like a divine steed that has descended from the heavens, not an ordinary creature.
The horse raised its head and neighed. And it was facing the Emperor, as if the neigh was a greeting.
Although there were many people standing around the emperor, no one dared to think that the horse was neighing at them.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, look, listen!"
"Your Majesty, is this thing greeting you?"
"No, no, no, this BMW must be praising the Emperor! So this is a good omen!"
The ministers around him began to flatter the emperor.
Moreover, they truly believed that this horse was very magical and precious, and now no one dared to doubt that it was not the Moonlight Horse.
After all, looking at this horse's majestic appearance and the divine light emanating from its body, what ordinary horse in the world has such a divine light?
The Emperor was also very pleased. He clapped his hands excitedly, but dared not laugh out loud.
Just then, someone said, "The Moonlight Horse is now emitting a divine light. Anyone who can gently touch it will be blessed with this divine light, which is a good omen."
